www.DeathofmyPet.com is directed to those of you who are in "anticipatory grief" or experiencing a death of your best friend. Thanks for being here and spending some time with us. You would not have been drawn to this site and our offerings had you not been a like-minded and kind person.

Pets are more than just animals… they are our closest friends, constant companions, and integral members of the Wright family. Our family has always had pets who were important members of our “fur-family.” The like-minded people we have met at conferences and in coaching have shared their love for animals with us. Many like Sally (below) need extra support.

These Feelings Are Perfectly Normal, And You CAN Find Peace Again…

“I can’t share how sad I am about my dog, because my co-workers will think I am crazy. But, on the other hand, I inquire about their child’s cold and buy their stupid Girl Scout cookies to support them. It isn't fair! Oh God, please don't let me start crying at work again. I heard someone call me a drama queen and say; It's only a dog, not a child. I just need someone to acknowledge my sadness.” Sally, grief client

Testimonials

"I have been listening to your programs in my phone through podcasts. I am going through the emotions of losing my beloved pet. It's been three weeks today and I feel so sad. My family is supportive but do not understand how I feel. They continue telling me to let go. I know in my heart that I will have another pet in my life because I love, love, dogs.
I am deeply depressed and would love to talk to someone besides my family. Thank you for your show."

Was the decision to euthanize your pet one of the hardest things you've ever done?

Do you have an old or terminally ill pet who you cannot stand the thought of losing?

Do you find yourself denying the inevitable or wondering how you will ever be able to handle the loss when they are gone?

Is your child struggling to understand the death of their pet?

Do you wish you could find the words to comfort a grieving friend or family member who lost a beloved pet, but you don’t know what to say to show your support without appearing to trivialize their pain?

Did the loss of your animal best friend trigger unhappy memories or unresolved conflicts of loss from years ago?

Did you find that you were more upset over losing a pet, than losing a parent or relative?

Pets are more than just animals… they are our closest friends, constant companions, and integral members of the Wright family. Our family has always had pets who were important members of our “fur-family.”

Do you view your pet as a member of your family, your closest friend, and constant companion? Our pets help us to be better people and remind us to be kind and loving each day. They bring us a level of love that can never be replaced, just as their personality can never be replaced. Each day with our pet is special and brings joy to both the owner and the owned (sometimes it is hard to determine who owns who, do you agree?).

Perhaps you can relate your feelings to those that my family felt about our beloved Cocker Spaniel Taffy;

ant in a friend and family member.

Loneliness – Taffy had been a part of our family for many years.

Anger – She was such a good dog, why should she have to suffer the indignities of old age, incontinence, arthritis, and blindness?

Helplessness – No matter what we did, we could not make her comfortable.

Guilt – We were all so busy and there were many days she had to stay alone. She would look at us with such sad eyes when she had accidents on the carpet, but we knew it wasn't her fault.

Sadness – We are all going to genuinely miss Taffy.

Depression – Life just wouldn't be the same without her.

Worried – That getting another dog would be disloyal to Taffy.

Relieved – That she would not have to suffer anymore.

Do You Resonate With These Emotions?

If you are nodding your head in agreement, you recognize those feelings and have felt them before. You have seen other fur-families making tough decisions about their beloved pet crossing "The Rainbow Bridge"

No one wants to lose their pet. No one gets an animal anticipating the death of that companion. The head knows that we will probably outlive our pet, but the heart doesn't understand. You are going to be so glad you have chosen to join our community of like-minded people.

But the fact is, pets are lost to accidents, disease, old age, or they simply wander off and never come home. It's finding ways to deal with the grief that will help you during the difficult time of losing your best friend.

Our Pets Help Us Be Better People

I have heard more than one person say this, and it is very common to hear in grief sessions.

Animals tend to give us unconditional love. They don't care whether we won the game or got a raise or …

As with all relationships, the deeper the relationship, the greater the grief and feelings of isolation and sadness we feel when that relationship ends.

This relationship may not be understood by those who de-value the friendship and love you shared with your animal. Because others do not respect your pain, it does not lessen it in your heart. For instance, one of the contributors to this book recalls being told to “Get over It. It was just a cat, not a child.

Co-workers may not only misunderstand your sadness but urge you to hurry your grief. They cannot even imagine what an empty place in your home and heart that a pet loss causes.

Why This Book of Personal Stories is So Special…

When Chuck, my friend, and I set out to gather stories of pet lovers who had lost their best friends, I never expected the outpouring of sharing.

I posted a request in a few blogs and asked for stories about pet loss and the stories, photos, poems, quotes and letters started pouring in.

So many of the entries began with the same thing “Thank you for asking about how I felt losing my dog, cat, turtle, horse, lizard, etc.” This opportunity may have been the first time many of the authors had put their pain and grief into words. They cried when writing them, and I cried reading them.

The love you feel for a pet is so unconditional and profound. Only someone who has loved and lost a pet can relate to how it feels.

“It was so therapeutic to be able to share a story with someone who could understand the loss of my best friend.”
